A huge shoutout to Just Dashes for their outstanding craftsmanship!

We recently received these beautifully restored dashes for a 1960 Cadillac and a 1980 Subaru BRAT, and we couldn't be more impressed with the results!

From the attention to detail and quality of their work to the exceptional service and delivery, they truly knocked it out of the park. Their dedication to preserving and restoring these classic interiors is evident in every detail.

Thank you to the team at Just Dashes for helping us bring these projects one step closer to completion. We look forward to working with you again!

IMPORTANT UPDATE REGARDING OUR PREVIOUS WEBSITE

We've recently discovered that our previous website, which was hosted through GoDaddy, was experiencing issues with customer inquiries and contact form submissions not reaching our team.

If you previously submitted a build request, estimate inquiry, or general message through our old website and never received a response, we sincerely apologize!

These communication issues were one of the reasons we made the decision to move to a new website platform.

If you've reached out in the past and haven't heard back, we'd love to hear from you again! Please visit our new website and resubmit your inquiry so we can get the conversation started.

We appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued support of Nichols Paint & Fab!

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding!
